Chu's father's funeral was scheduled for the third day after his death. On the day of the funeral, Cheng Xiran accompanied Chu Shang. She was wearing black clothes, a white daisy on her chest, and a black shoulder-length bangs.
She has short hair and a pair of flat glasses on the bridge of her nose. It is already difficult for unfamiliar people to recognize her without any other changes to her face. Moreover, just to be on the safe side, she also darkened her skin color and had her cheeks pumped.
From the profile, strangers would not be able to tell that she was Cheng Xiran.
She followed Chu Shang in a low-key manner, keeping her head slightly lowered. Today was Chu's father's funeral, and the guests who came to see her off didn't pay much attention to her. She and Xu Mingcheng stood behind Chu Shang, one on the left and one on the right.
I thought she was another assistant of Chu Shang.
But there will always be people paying attention to her, such as Chu Jing who suffered a loss at her hands last time, and other Chu family members who are eyeing her. They will always be concerned about every move around Chu Shang. Chu Shang showed up at his father's funeral with Cheng Xiran.
Above, it confirms what Chu Jing said before, this girl is Chu Shang’s girlfriend.
They were not afraid of Chu Shang's girlfriend, but they were afraid that Chu Shang's girlfriend was too powerful. Now that they knew that Cheng Xiran was just a logistics clerk in Chu Shang's experimental team, they were relieved. There was no need to worry about such a girl who was not a threat at all.
.
The man standing next to Chu Jing also looked at Cheng Xiran, and then he never looked away, staring at her face as if he could see a flower.
"Does it look good?"
Chu Jing noticed her husband's gaze and asked conspiratorially.
Pan Yang looked back and touched his nose and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just think she looks familiar."
Chu Jing sneered: "You must look familiar to all beauties."
"Wife, what are you talking about? You have a good idea of what she looks like."
Pan Yang coaxed with a smooth tongue.
Chu Jing snorted and didn't bother to argue with him.
Pan Yang coaxed his wife and glanced at Cheng Xiran again when Chu Jing wasn't paying attention. He just said that Cheng Xiran looked familiar, not to offend Chu Jing, but because he really felt familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
By this time, the pastor had finished reciting the Bible and his relatives and friends were about to say goodbye for the last time. Pan Yang withdrew his gaze and put the matter behind him.
Cheng Xiran had noticed Pan Yang's gaze a long time ago. After she secretly noted this person down, she followed Chu Shang to the tombstone to lay flowers to say goodbye. Chu Shang had no expression on his face, neither sad nor sad. He placed the flowers in front of the tombstone and remained silent.
After standing there for a minute, he left without saying a word.
Seeing such a cold-hearted look, relatives, friends and guests could not help but criticize him for being unfilial, especially those from the Chu family. They didn't say anything with their mouths, but they showed it in their actions. One or two of them cried hoarsely. Hu Xiuru cried.
I almost fainted several times, vividly interpreting the heartbreak of a widowed woman.
Cheng Xiran admired Hu Xiuru's acting skills so much that she suggested to Xia Jingze that he should not hire a professional actor for a similar role next time. She saw that Hu Xiuru's acting was more realistic than a professional's.
After seeing Father Chu off for the last time, Shang Chu really didn't want to stay and watch Hu Xiuru and the others show off, so he simply left with Cheng Xiran and Xu Mingcheng.
Xu Mingcheng drove, Cheng Xiran and Chu Shang sat in the back. Cheng Xiran asked Xu Mingcheng: "Is Pan Yang lustful?"
As soon as he asked this question, Chu Shang quickly asked before Xu Mingcheng could answer: "Did he bully you?"
"No."
Cheng Xiran shook his head.
Chu Shang felt relieved and asked, "Then why did you suddenly ask him if he was horny?"
"He just kept peeking at me. If he wasn't lustful, then he might look familiar to me. I always want to confirm it so that I can think of a strategy in advance."
Cheng Xiran replied.
Chu Shang was even more relieved and called Brother Xu, indicating that he should answer Cheng Xiran's first question. He didn't know whether Pan Yang was lewd or not. In fact, he didn't even know the private life of the Chu family.
Xu Mingcheng responded: "The Pan family is an investment banker and has invested in many businesses, including film and television. It is inevitable that they will come into contact with stars in the entertainment industry. There will always be people who want to get ahead who will take the initiative to get involved. Naturally, he will
Will not refuse.
In addition, I am a playboy myself, and I have played with countless women."
Cheng Xiran understood that even if rich second-generation dudes like Pan Yang were not lecherous, there was no shortage of women around them. They didn't need to take the initiative to be lecherous, and there would be a lot of women following them.
And she was dressed ordinary and rustic today. She was not really a top-notch beauty. Pan Yang, who was used to seeing beautiful women, had no need to stare at her at his old father-in-law's funeral.
Then there is only one possibility left, that is, he looks familiar to him, so he peeks at himself again and again to see if he can recall his face.
"Did he recognize you?"
Chu Shang naturally understood what Xu Mingcheng said.
Cheng Xiran shook his head: "Probably not, maybe it looks familiar.
But I can’t let him think about me all the time, otherwise even if he can’t remember me for a while, he might still remember me if I see him more often.”
"What Ms. Cheng said is that the Pan family is also a member of the company's board of directors. Pan Yang represents his father every time he attends the board meeting. We will definitely meet more often in the future."
Xu Mingcheng said.
"Then what's your idea?"
Chu Shang was really not good at this kind of thing, so he had to ask Cheng Xiran.
Cheng Xiran was not nervous and smiled: "I'm going to meet someone first. Only after meeting him can I know what to do next."
"Are we leaving now?"
Xu Mingcheng asked.
"Go home first, it's too conspicuous to go out dressed like this."
Cheng Xiran said.
Xu Mingcheng nodded and continued driving towards Chu Shang's villa.
After the three of them got home, Aunt Xu made tea for them and asked them if the funeral went well and if the Chu family had bullied Chu Shang. She was obviously worried.
"It went very smoothly, no one bullied me."
Chu Shang told Aunt Xu to rest assured.
Aunt Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Chu's father's funeral could be completed smoothly, and the matter was temporarily over.
What's left is the matter between Chu Shang and the Chu family's group of jackals and tigers. With Cheng Xiran here, Aunt Xu feels more at ease than before.
The three of them chatted with Aunt Xu for a few words, drank a cup of tea, and then went back to their rooms and changed out of their black clothes. Cheng Xiran didn't let Xu Mingcheng follow him, so he just grabbed the driver Chu Shang and went out. Xu Mingcheng didn't need him.
Then he went to the company. He didn't worry about leaving his post for a day, allowing the Chu family to take advantage of the loophole.
"where to?"
After Chu Shang drove the car out of the house, he asked Cheng Xiran next to him.
“Mingxiang Teahouse.”
Cheng Xiran put his mobile phone on the center console, and the navigation was turned on for him.
Chu Shang drove the car on the road according to the navigation guidance.
The distance was a bit far. Chu Shang drove at a normal speed and it took half an hour to get there. However, in a big city, a half-hour drive is actually not that far.
The car parked in the parking lot in front of the teahouse, got out of the car, and walked side by side into the teahouse.
"welcome."
The receptionist in tea clothes bowed to them at the door and asked: "Sir and madam, do you want to have tea or receive guests?"
